This paper presents an analysis of a qualitative research done with 04 (four) professors of the distance education course of Pedagogy, offered by the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, on their perceptions about the skills needed to work in this course. The distance education (DE) is a current trend and one of the growing areas in the education sector. It is a viable and flexible alternative for students who, for some reason, cannot or do not have the time to attend a face-to-face course. Present in various levels of education in Brazil, distance learning has peculiarities such as the physical distance between teacher and student and the mediation process made possible by information and communication technologies (ICT), especially over the internet, through virtual learning environments. With the expansion of distance education courses it also arises some concerns about the quality of the courses offered and the training teachers have been receiving to work in this type of education. Therefore, considerations are made relating the opinions of teachers who participated in this research to the administrative, technological and facilitation skills related by Kemshal-Bell, 2001. The sampling, though not considerable, allowed some important considerations in relation to the pedagogical work that has been developed on this course. Both the teacher and the student have specific responsibilities in the teaching-learning process. The teacher as planner and mediator of educational activities and the student as co-responsible for his or her learning, through the dedication and interest in the studies. If these actors do not act in tune the objectives set in the course program have great chances of not being achieved
